First seen Feb 22, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to repair a torn ankle ligament: standard stitches with small anchors versus adding a special reinforced implant (BioBrace) to help the ligament heal stronger. About 40 adults needing ankle surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers will track pain, function, and recovery over time to see if the implant leads to better results.
